Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Genetics in Heterotaxy: A Case Series and Literature Review on DNAH9, PKD1L1, MMP21, and GDF1
Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.Integrating trio‐based genomic sequencing with detailed clinical evaluation across seven French–Vietnamese heterotaxy cases alongside a review of 108 published patients reveals strong genotype–phenotype correlations. Variants in DNAH9, PKD1L1, MMP21, and GDF1 define a broad spectrum from isolated situs inversus to complex conotruncal heart defects and ...
